Chloe was baptized!!! - 8/27/2018


Hello my beautiful friends and family!

This week Chloe was baptized!!! It was a beautiful service and she was shining all day. She is such a pioneer in her family and I know God is so proud of her. This week I've got a lot more pictures of my dog friends. They are everywhere and the best thing to do is befriend them (if they don't have fleas). I don't have fleas yet, so we're good to go. 

Our other investigators are progressing as well. We read the story of Ammon (Alma 17-19) with one of our investigators named Drew. He really liked it and it was such a cool experience to read it with him. The spirit was so strong and I realized how lucky I have been to have grown up with these stories and these heroes as my role models! Bendiciones! (Blessings!) I encourage you all to read his story and ponder on his example of courage and humility. 

Every single day is at least 100F, usually 105F. It's hot. We try to stay out of the sun but sometimes we have to be outside. Texas is awesome but I could do without the HEAT.

Remember: 
But all is well in my realm! I hope the same is for you as well! Shout out to my grandpa, Pap for turning 80 this week. 

Much Love <3

Rewards 😁 - 10/22/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! First and foremost, I am profusely sorry that I did not write an email to all of you last week. And unfortunately this week it's going to be short again. We went paint-balling today and it was so much fun! We hit our goals last month and so we got to go paintball together as a reward. It was a blast. Pictures inserted. You also all might be glad to know that DARLENE CAME TO CHURCH! We had pretty much given up on her but then she came to church and she loved it! It was an awesome Sunday and we're so happy for her. She got a lot out of it. Other than that it was a pretty normal week. It's mine and Sister Chavez's and last week together and were going to make the very best of it. I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week. Always remember how much you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father. No matter what you do, He's there for you. No matter what.  -Hermana Lara Richardson

Food for Darlene - 10/1/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! This week was a great week! One of our investigators named Vida came to church yesterday! She hadn't been progressing a whole lot and so we really didn't think she would come but she did. She liked it but she said it was a bit long haha.  In other news Sister Chavez was sick this week with a cold and allergies. So, we stayed in for one and a half days to let her recoup. I was super bored and I was so happy that she was getting better until I woke up yesterday morning with a minor sore throat and today I woke up with it worse! I'm getting what she had. It's just a bad cold but I'd rather not get it at all. There were two baptisms in our Branch this week. Adolfo and Daisy. They were both so ecstatic and it was wonderful to see their progress.  *MIRACLE* OKAY SO, One of the days that Sister Chavez was sick, I was at my desk trying to study some more while she slept when we got a text from Darlene (another one o...
